Well, despite a fairly "blah" weekend - it's been a great Monday! The pictures below tell the story, so feel free to follow along...
This is Evan's bed/desk. He's been asking for a "floor bed" for some time though - not because he doesn't like this bedroom set, but because he happens to have the warmest room in the house, so he's been pretty hot all summer sleeping that close to the ceiling. We put this set on Craig's List and Lilly Classifieds and it sold this morning!!! We disassembled it this afternoon and they picked it up just a few hours ago. Evan is currently sleeping on his mattress on the floor until we get . . . 
This bed from Ikea in Cincinnati this weekend. It's a really cool platform bed in black - which will coordinate with the black accents in his room and his dresser/mirror we kept from the set we just sold.
It was also a "thumbs up" day for Blake b/c he finally got a new battery for his Gravedigger Monster Truck. When Blake is happy, mommy's happy!!!
I personally don't understand why people spend a ton of money on bikes and such - guess you have to be a true die-hard cyclist/fanatic to want the creme de la creme. For example, the bike trailer you see here is called a Burley D'lite and they cost around $550 brand new (no, we didn't pay that much for it). So when we put it on Craigs List yesterday, I never thought we would actually sell it, much less get the $ we were asking for it - but we got a call today and as of 90 minutes ago, it is also SOLD! However, when the guy buying it came to pick it up - we had about 15 people come running to our house to see what was wrong. Why you ask?????.....
Because this is what showed up at our house! Who needs a trip to the firestation, just sell a bike trailer and they'll come to you! Grant was pretty excited! Blake was too - but he refused to get close enough to check it out - pretty funny actually. 
Grant asking one of the firemen "what happens if I push this button..." 
Grant, our neighbor Ian and one of the firemen. Not the greatest picture - those reflective stripes on the firetruck REALLY reflect with or without the flash!!!
All the neighborhood kids who came out were getting a personal inside tour of the firetruck, and Grant just wanted this fireman to buckle him into the back part of the truck.
"That's a wrap folks, I'm outta here!"

Wow, the kids had an exciting day! I LOVE IKEA! Take me with you!!!! :o) My problem is that I can never seem to get out of the store without dropping at least $100.
Way to go Beth on all fronts...buying and selling!! You are a great shopper. Seems like it was a pretty eventful Monday then to make up for the uneventful weekend ;)!! Love it!!
Sorry you've not felt well. And here's hoping for more energy!
That firetruck is hilarious! Was it on Craig's List?
Are you feeling any better? Heather was all a mess this weekend, not feeling good. Hey, do you know we're streaming our worship services now? They are now on the website. This past weekend was the first week for it. Yikes...better sing in tune. No pressure.
That is awesome! Now I have sold things on CraigsList and have yet to have a firetruck show up too. Caleb would have freaked out! These are the moments life is made of huh!
Beth, I just found your blog on matt's blog...nice to read a bit more about your family. Love the IKEA bed and am jealous of your cincinatti IKEA trip... I LOVE THAT PLACE!!
